CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - June 12, 2007 Conoa, Inc. announces the release and immediate availability of new versions of its entire product line for video effects and motion graphics. The new plug-ins to video editing and compositing systems now support universal binaries and will run natively on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Macintosh systems. The plug-ins support both Adobe After Effects 7 and the new After Effects CS3 on all Macintosh and Windows platforms. The new versions are free upgrades for existing Conoa customers.

In addition to universal binary support, Conoa Alphafy, part of the Conoa EasyFX package, has been updated. It now offers the ability to convert any media into an animated gradient. This is useful for doing complex animated wipes and adding custom looks to transitions. This new feature is also free for existing Conoa customers.

Conoa products work as plug-ins within Adobe After Effects 4.1 and higher, including the new After Effects CS3, Apple Final Cut Pro 3 through Final Cut Pro 5, Avid systems through the use of Elastic Gasket from Profound Effects, and Quantel systems through the use of Synapse from Video Design Software. Conoa plug-in sets are available for Macintosh OS X, and Windows 98 and above.

Conoa offers three plug-in packages and one bundle package. Conoa 3D has a list price of $299 and Conoa EasyShapes and Conoa EasyFX both list for $109. Conoa SuperPak, combining all three plug-in sets, lists for $349.
